Just finished my settings, NDS1 with Russ Andrews PSU wired up with DA11 balanced out to hpa v200 then T1. The sound is very satifying !

RA psu does give a bit more clear and airy sound,better extension, but the difference is not very huge.

Will using the RA psu remove the brightness of the source?
My 840C sound bright if using external input but not with playing from CD.
This sounds like the perfect complement to a portable system built around an iPod. I've got two questions both of which apply to my iPod.
1. Does the ND-S1 work with an iMod? In my case a DYIiMod, but I think it's the same as the standard iMod.
2. What a Rockboxed iPod playing Flac?
There may be something that I'm missing or should know, but I can't figure out a simple way to answer these questions.

1. Yes, but it's kind of a misuse of an iMod as it would sound no better than a stock iPod when just used as a transport with the Onkyo. Depending on your external DAC though, it could certainly still be an improvement over the iMod's already improved sound quality. It would just be a less dramatic improvement than it would be with an iPod.
Clear as mud?

Nice answer, but the SQ of the nds1 will be depending on the DAC you used. With IMOD all you need is a vcap doc and an amp.
It'd be insteresting to A/B my Vcap imod and my RA NDS1+DA11. Just too busy recently, will do it and post the feelings later.
